Chicken Soup brings to mind an easy, simple comfort food. Whether it is a cold dreary day or I don’t feel well, this soup is quick and easy to put together and has a strong hearty flavor that hits the spots each and every time. I use celery, carrots, and onion in my soup, but the joy of chicken soup is being able to add or use whatever your favorite veggies are. Sometimes I will add red pepper flakes for a kick. I don’t think I’ve ever cooked two pots of chicken soup the same.
For this Chicken Soup, I took the leftover chicken carcass from the roasted chicken we had a few days prior and boiled it down to get a deep tasty chicken broth.
Once the chicken was boiled down I strained it through a mesh strainer and added the vegetables and chicken meat and let that cook down until the vegetables were tender and then added my noodles. Once the noodles reached the consistency I liked, it was ready to serve. It sounds a bit more complicated than it is, but it’s actually a simple soup to make and even better to enjoy.
I served my Chicken Soup with Noodles topped with shaved parmesan cheese. The salty nutty flavor of the cheese complemented the soup so well, I’ve decided to eat it this way from now on. Chicken soup, easy simple comfort food.

I’ve always used store bought Mayonnaise or Miracle Whip when I needed it for a recipe, potato salad or sandwiches. It’s not a common condiment I keep on hand anymore. However, the other day when I was making Easy Meat Roll-Ups for lunch, the recipe called for homemade mayonnaise. What-do-you-know!!! Five ingredients. A quick mix with an immersion blender and voila – Homemade Mayonnaise, just like that. Creamy Homemade Mayonnaise that’s fail-proof and healthy.
I wasn’t quite sure how oil, a whole raw egg, lemon juice, salt and dijon mustard was going to come out white and creamy looking. But that’s exactly what happened. And the taste??? The taste was fresh, light and delicious. Hands down, homemade mayonnaise is the way to go. I don’t believe I’ll be purchasing store bought Mayonnaise anymore.
